So naturally I came across the BiggerPockets podcast.

Sec. 1.469-5T(a) or alternatively the substantial service test Temp.

While these are more legal in nature, they don't protect others from using the same name for their marketing efforts. 

I think it is reasonable for all of us, hosts and guests, alike, to SHARE the financial burden of Covid-19 or any natural disaster. 

With SS becoming more popular it just naturally becomes more competitive driving cap rates down and values up.

The deal is almost in the purchase price.I used to work for institutional asset management and equities and alternative investments do have a place in your investment sphere but for me, real estate has been the only thing that allows me to "not work" when I don't want to.I do also take advantage of solo 401k which allow you to put 50k+ per individual tax deductible every year so I am still heavily invested in the market. 

Looking for some advice, alternative options and or ideas... thanks

I have a rental property in Emmaus, PA (near Allentown), and I paid a plumber to remove the tank as part of converting the system to natural gas.

Looking at it from another way, if you do the deal and your worst fears do come true, what's the downside to you and do you have an alternative to selling?

If so then it would certainly seem that doing a 1031 is the prudent course because of the nature of compound interest.
